Newton’s film knows that people are always going to be letting themselves (and each other) down, no matter how hard they try, and Nicholson’s unforgettable turn makes it impossible for us to forget it. Read full review

Newton has made a beautiful little film about sacrifice and redemption, and he earns it one tiny brushstroke at a time. Read full review

Superbly acted and confidently shot, Who We Are Now delivers substantial dramatic pleasures while posing pertinent questions. Read full review

Mike D'Angelo

Newton’s screenplays still suffer from third-act problems — both "From Nowhere" and Who We Are Now conclude with an ironic twist that feels slightly cheap — but his dedication to fine-grained real-world complexity sets him apart from most indie filmmakers these days. Read full review

Every minute of this film is absolutely mesmerizing. It’s as if the stars are commanding the audience’s attention, knowing they may never get this kind of showcase again. Read full review

Newton’s storytelling is skittish and a bit too on the nose at times, but his palpable generosity toward his cast is rewarded with committed, passionate turns from the ensemble. However, Nicholson, a performer all-too seldom given a chance to lead, is the big door prize here, offering an intricately layered performance that lifts the whole film up a notch. Read full review

While Nicholson’s onscreen, it’s impossible to pay heed to anything but her. She scorches the film with her barely bottled ferocity and vulnerability. Read full review

Who we were yesterday?
We were criminals?
We were heroes?
bad guys? good guys?
does it matter? yes it does

but judge who we are now
not who we were somewhere in past
